…and Other Unlikely Places

Screenwriting from Yankee Stadium

Yesterday I took two plane flights, one bus ride, and one subway to get to my first game ever at Yankee Stadium. The journey from my house took about about nine hours. But it was really several decades in the making. It’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit ever since I was a little kid. I grew up playing baseball and loved the old stories about Babe Ruth & Mickey Mantle.

Of course, I would have loved to have seen a game in the old stadium (The House that Ruth Built) rather than the new one that opened this year. But they at least haven’t torn the old one down yet so I at least got to see it. Having seen Fenway Park and Wrigley Field my baseball stadium dreams are finally fulfilled.

But anyway my little visit to Yankee Stadium was a good example of persistence.

Here the definition of persistent I found on Dictionary.com: persisting, esp. in spite of opposition, obstacles, discouragement, etc.

So whatever your screenwriting and filmmaking dreams are stick with them knowing they sometimes take a little time to become a reality.

I got to visit The House the Ruth Built last April, during The Final Season…frankly, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. But I couldn’t have been more impressed! I really, really enjoyed our tour, and, (as you know) since I have such a crush on New York, I loved being able to see that piece of the city’s history. Wow! In fact we were in town the same day that they dug up that Red Sox jersey that had been buried in the foundation of the new stadium- quite the buzz on the street! 🙂
